Prayer ~ Lord, please give me wisdom. That is what Solomon prayed…and it is what I ask for, too, but give me only what I can wisely use to bring You honor and glory.
Teach us to realize the brevity of life, so that we may
grow in wisdom. Psalm 90:12
Lord, I exalt You…and have the upmost respect for You knowing….
Fear of the LORD is the foundation of true wisdom. All who obey his
commandments will grow in wisdom. Praise him forever! Psalm 111:10
God gave Solomon very great wisdom and understanding,
and knowledge as vast as the sands of the seashore. In fact, his wisdom
exceeded that of all the wise men of the East and the wise men of Egypt. 1 Kings 4:29-30
Meditate on Wisdom.
Proverbs, written by Solomon who was the wisest man who
ever lived, besides Jesus, is a great compilation and source of wisdom. See the
list of verses…and look them up for a few examples.

If you need wisdom,
ask our generous God, and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for
asking. But when you ask him, be sure that your faith is in God alone. Do not
waver, for a person with divided loyalty is as unsettled as a wave of the sea
that is blown and tossed by the wind. Such people should not expect to receive
anything from the Lord. Their loyalty is divided between God and the world, and
they are unstable in everything they do. James 1:5-8
You have just scratched the surface. There is so much
wisdom out there…all provided by and associated with God. Do you want or need
more? Just Ask God…and He will give you more of what you need.
Verses of Salvation ~ For God chose to save us through
our Lord Jesus Christ, not to pour out his anger on us. Christ died for us so
that, whether we are dead or alive when he returns, we can live with him
forever. So encourage each other and build each other up, just as you are
already doing. 1 Thessalonians 5:9-11
Memory Verse of the Week ~ Be thankful in all
circumstances, for this is God's will for you who belong to Christ Jesus. 1
